Chapter 214 What Is That? An Indirect Kiss!


    The employees of T Corporation fixed their gazes on the crowd, perhaps because their boss had


    appeared in front of them. Leia was worried that she might be recognized if she stood there for too


    long, so she turned around and left.


    When she returned to Xavier’s Porsche Cayenne, she lightly furrowed her brows.


    Marie was not familiar with Leia yet, and she regarded Leia as a celebrity way beyond her league and


    herself as a lowlymoner. For a moment, she did not know how to speak to Leia.


    Leia was not bothered with Marie''s presence. Instead, she kept thinking about the scene earlier.


    Leia already knew who Luke was.


    As one of the darlings of A City, and now that she had be one of the most famous celebrities, she


    held two extremely enviable identities.


    One of Leia''s friends once asked her what kind of man she would want to marry in the future.


    She had admitted that she had her eyes on someone, but she was not sure whether fate would lead


    her to him.


    However, with the target in mind, she could work hard toward achieving it.


    Of course, the target had to be worth the effort, 1


    Her father had a prominent status and would expect that his daughter would marry someone equally


    prominent. She also knew that her father had some candidates for his son-inw, and they were all


    future politicians.


    Leia had thought that there was nothing wrong with marrying a politician.


    Her social status would rise as her husband was promoted up the ranks.


    However, her opinion changed after she ventured into showbiz.


    She found that businessmen who could control and manipte the market were much more attractive


    than politicians.


    She was a straight woman, and she was naturally attracted to mature and attractive men. She often


    fantasized what sort of bodies they might have hidden under those impable business suits. She


    also loved to wonder what they were thinking behind those mysterious gazes.


    Luke Crawford checked all the boxes...


    The social circle of A City was not that big. Whenever single women gathered together after lunch, they


    would gossip about any outstanding men who caught their eye.


    Of course, someone had suggested introducing Leia to Young Master Crawford, but she knew that


    Luke had two children.


    She was privy to information that was not known to the general public, and she knew very well that it


    was not anything surprising that a wealthy and sessful single man would have a woman bear


    children for him.


    However, Leia considered herself to be still young. She did not want to be a stepmother, even if Luke''s


    qualifications were perfect.


    Moreover, there were two children.


    She felt ufortable just thinking about it.


    Now that she had seen Luke Crawford in the flesh, she had to admit that she was utterly smitten by the


    man''s charm within ten minutes.


    Drinking from his cousin''s wife''s cup and cing his lips where her lipstick marks were? What was that,


    if not an indirect kiss?


    He did that in front of her husband Xavier too.


    Leia thought that it was not a coincidence.


    Leia thought that she had gained a lot in her trip to the small town, but at the same time, she felt that


    she had lost a big chunk of her heart.


    She clearly knew the reason why she felt so.


    On the journey back to A City, Xavier did not stop smoking, and his brows were knotted tightly. Leia


    had requested to sit next to him so that she could observe his reactions.


    She saw Xavier''s dangerously sullen face and started to wonder about


    Bianca''s rtionship with the two cousins...

    Back in A City.


    Leia went back to her home and walked into her room as though she had lost her soul. After a shower


    and changing into pajamas, she picked up the script for tomorrow''s film shoot and browsed it.


    Soon, her thoughts were overtaken by the memories of Luke''s stern and sculpted face.


    She put the script down, then took a few deep breaths to calm herself down.


    Meanwhile, Marie followed closely behind Xavier up to the room above the bar.


    The street was only lively at night, especially after midnight. In the daytime, it was so quiet that they


    could hear a bird chirping somewhere across the street.


    Xavier opened the window to let the air in. While he unbuttoned his shirt, he turned around and pinned


    Marie on the bed.


    "Ah!" Marie eximed in surprise. Then, she felt a chill on the lower half of her body.


    Xavier had taken off her pants!


    Her fair legs were brought into view. The cold fall wind blew on her bare skin and caused her to shiver.


    The sheer white curtains brushed against her cheeks and nose...


    "Ah... the door is open..." Marie said coyly and pretended to be embarrassed.


    She was experienced enough to know how to pique a man''s interest in her body.


    The atmosphere was perfect, and her body and her voice were tantalizingly close...


    When Xavier was about to mount her, he realized that he was not in the mood at all!


    Marie continued to put on an act and waited for the man''s next move.


    When she stole nces at the man''s expression, she realized that she might be losing her charm...


    Did he already have his fill?


    The news article said that he was with Leia the night before.


    Marie knew that she had to rely on Leia, and she never could forget that Xavier was the one who


    introduced her to the celebrity. In other words, her fate wholly depended on Xavier''s mood.


    What was most important was that he was happy.


    Marie did not care for her image or decency. After all, she was used to it. She got up, kneeled in front of


    Xavier, and reached between his legs. "I... urn ... I''ll help you..."


    In the small town.


    After a long day of work, it was almost sunset.


    Bianca seemed troubled. She did not want to be involved in scandals, but scandals had alwayse


    to look for her.


    As the saying went, "Man proposes, heaven disposes."


    She could do nothing but to leave it up to fate.


    The two children got into the ck Bentley and sat tight. The man closed the door and turned around to


    look at Bianca, who was clutching her workptop. "I''m bringing them to a children''s movie at eight


    o''clock tonight. Do you want toe along?"


    Bianca reflexively wanted to say yes, but her conscience told her that she should not...


    "Get in the car." Luke reached out to take her hand. 1


    Just when he was about to touch her hand, she took a step back out of fright and nced at her


    colleagues standing not far away. "I''m not going.


    Maybe next time. You should apany them..." She tried to maintain her distance.


    She felt immensely guilty for not being able to give the children a mother''s love.


    "What are you worried about?" Luke tossed his jacket into the driver seat car window, undid his tie, and


    towered over her. "Are you afraid that you''ll appear in the news again if someone catches us together?"
